4th place, so close But great run for Fionnuala who will run the marathon in Rio.

And perhaps more importantly than getting the team quota would be the additional three individual quotas. Cian O'Connor and the Irish media had been highlighting this possibility for a few days.... I hope and pray our team may finally get luck on our side after the rotten luck we endured in qualification.

Olive Loughnane will receive her 2009 World Championship gold medal at the stadium in Amsterdam today... I hope they show it as part of the televised coverage
